Art in the square

Creative works of art

Torsten Mühlbach: Zauberwald, Pegasus &  Bacchus is Dancing

It glitters and sparkles when Tollwood presents Torsten Mühlbach’s works of art at the Winter Festival. Even before the entrance, the dancing sculpture Bacchus is dancing welcomes the audience. At the main entrance, an enchanted forest harbours its glowing Pegasus – always an eye-catcher. And at the other end of the festival, a twelve-metre-high Christmas tree made of disco balls shines across the grounds.

Andrey von Schlippe: Planets

Art floats at the Tollwood Winter Festival. Just like the planets floating above part of the market – designed by Andrey von Schlippe, Head of Visual Arts at Tollwood. Hundreds of colourful planets float on fine strings above the heads of the festival audience. Breathtakingly beautiful!

Veronika Angloher: Fence design

‘We need you!’ – The motto of the winter festival is also reflected in the fence design by freelance artist Veronika Angloher, who will be responsible for the artistic square design from this winter.

Ludwig Frank: Entrance gate & illuminated pagodas

Get out of the underground and into the Tollwood Winter Festival – Ludwig Frank’s illuminated pagodas shine in front of the festival’s main entrance. They show the way in bright colours. And the artist’s entrance gate welcomes everyone at the side entrance in the colours of fire.

Mukai Katsumi: Wooden sculptures

Deeply rooted in nature: that is the art of Mukai Katsumi. The large wooden sculptures by this friend of Tollwood breathe the spirit of his Japanese homeland. The artist listens to his trees and responds with his very own formal language. For many years, he has also been preoccupied with the theme of family, which inspired him to create his “Family” sculptures.

Ice artists: Fascinating things made of ice

How do you turn ice into art? Ice artists like Christian Staber show how at the Tollwood Winter Festival. They carve fascinating creatures and works of art freehand live on site.

Werte Bänke ‘Values Benches’

Tollwood visitors can get creative themselves at the ‘Values Benches’ in the Bazar: simple wooden benches invite them to actively engage in artistic dialogue with values such as courage, freedom, tolerance and cohesion.
